Czech This Bit of Blue




I know I know it’s one more blooming BlueStream, but I just cannot help it. You know I get these infatuations with particular trucks and I undoubtedly have the blues at the moment. On my way residence down the A12 to Colchester and just as I’m about to come off at my junction there is this lay by which is where the 300 yard marker is for the junction. The lay by was empty and it’s a extremely clear evening, I saw the back finish of a quite sensible frigo trailer and the unmistakeable blue shine at the front end.. I went property and told the wife that I would be pooping out about 10pm when the site visitors on the A12 quietened down. For what ever cause Mrs Blog doesn’t bat an eyelid when I say I’m going back to a darkened lay by, she knows why. For what ever purpose my passion for trucks more than takes and I just have to go back and try and get a photo. 

Now a truck photo in a lay by isn’t also considerably of a dilemma, or so you would feel

1. The truck is at the finish of the lay by


2. The street lights are in the centre of the carriageway and finish about half way along the layby


3. The layby is a drive by means of a single with a little kerb separating it from the carriageway


4. There is no light on the front grill of the truck


5. My camera requirements a tripod to take night images


6. There is still lots of traffic


7. I don’t want the police to turn up considering I’m about to run out on front of the traffic!

I managed to get some ideas on how to use my camera by way of the Canon G12 group on Facebook. I nonetheless,have Mr Jensen Chua’s directions saved on my phone and as you can see he knows his sh*t. They have come out quite effectively. All these photographs have a 15 second exposure as there was no light at the front of the truck. Placing my camera on a tripod on the outside edge of the kerb of the lay by was the greatest idea nor was placing the camera in the middle of the drive by way of lane of the lay by………..but it was worth it, I’m quite pleased with the benefits. Thanks Jensen and thanks to Neil Jarrold who recommended employing the vehicle lights to assist, so I put the reverse lights on the car, in order to place a little light on the front grill. 



I consider the reason why I adore the BlueStream so significantly is purely the colour.  I seem to get blinkered by a beautiful shade of blue and it appears to just lure me in. Romance isn’t dead Richie! Helped by getting attached to a 730hp Scania V8 in this case, it truly is a leading looking motor. My only thoughts are it need to appear even more great all lit up, pity the driver was currently in bed. The BlueStreams are available worldwide, but I wonder if this is the only one particular operated out of Czech Republic??
